Americans can take a warning from a University of Florida study of bottled water in China - don’t drink the liquid if you’ve left it somewhere warm for a long time.

University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have discovered a way to create a highly sensitive chemical sensor based on the crystalline flaws in graphene sheets. The imperfections have unique electronic properties that the researchers were able to exploit to increase sensitivity to absorbed gas molecules by 300 times. 

Its name is Rivanna, and it’s the University of Virginia’s new $2.4 million Cray computing cluster, a high-performance machine – really a combination of linked high-power computers (hence, “cluster”) – designed to greatly enhance and establish computationally intensive and data-intensive research at the University.

Let’s face it—running a laboratory can be expensive

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created a small scale “hydrogen generator” that uses light and a two-dimensional graphene platform to boost production of the hard-to-make element.

The switch controls the growth of telomeres, the timekeepers of cells.

With almost all of the U.S. population armed with cellphones – and close to 80 percent carrying a smartphone – mobile phones have become second-nature for most people.

$15 million Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) commitment to action brings new resources to laboratories in sub-Saharan Africa.

Step toward quantum computing, spintronic memory, better displays.

New finding could accelerate research to regenerate damaged tissue.

Acquisition expands EMD Millipore’s global reach, increasing the company’s presence in North America and adding exposure to fast-growing Asian markets.

In Science, UMass Amherst researchers tell how they broke the ‘electrode barrier.’
